Indoor Ensembles

Firestone High School has enjoyed providing students with an indoor marching band experience through the winter months in the forms of an indoor percussion and an indoor winter guard. The availability of these groups is dependent on student interest and experts in percussion and color guard to instruct the students.

This indoor season, 2019-2020, Firestone will have an indoor winter guard. For more information on the indoor guard please follow this link --> FIRESTONE INDOOR GUARD
